New creator owned project in August, “Ides of Blood #1” begins six issue mini series written by Stuart C. Paul and art by Christian Duce. This mini sports a $3.99 cover price!

DC is making the shift to $3.99 titles and this will include some Wildstorm titles. Welcome to Tranquility: One Foot in the Grave debuts in July at $2.99 but increases to $3.99 with issue two. Creator-owned & licensed titles like X-files/30 Days of Night, Fringe: Tales from the Fringe, Free Realms, Gears of War, and the aforementioned Kane & Lynch already have the $3.99 price. The WSU titles Wildcats, The Authority, Dv8 and Gen 13 are still $2.99 as of August.

Joe tries to explain the crazy first few pages of this issue and the Gen 13 lore.

Ben apologizes for not re-reading this issue before the review, he doesn’t make much sense at the end of his review trying to explain what Apollo, Midnighter, and Zealot are up to. Joe tries to set him straight…fails miserably.
